half per cents and ss7. 100 four per cents. max

explains to-days heavy offerings by saying that
the bondholders are fearful that by continuing
to hold their bonds they may endanger their
chances of disposing of them at rates
as favorable as those offer red by the
government Some who held back for ad-
vance are now, he said, Offering their bonds I'M
